Müllerian duct anomalies consist of a set of structural malformations resulting from abnormal development of the paramesonephric or Müllerian ducts. Failures in lateral fusion may result in uterus didelphys, bicornuate uterus or arcuate uterus while, reabsorption failure results in a uterus with a partial or complete septum. We reported a series of two cases of a woman with a septate uterus, cervical duplication and longitudinal vaginal septum undergoing an in vitro fertilization procedure. Septate uterus with double cervix and longitudinal vaginal septum is a rare anomaly. We reported its endoscopic management in two infertile women. Hysteroscopic metroplasty which is a safe and simple approach for the removal of the uterine septum can improve reproductive outcomes but in vitro fertilization can be an alternative approach for these patients.
